Overview
EN 2240-051:2011 is a CEN European product standard in the Aerospace series that defines the required characteristics for lamp, code 1163 - an incandescent lamp intended for aerospace applications. Prepared under ASD‑STAN and approved by CEN, this standard sets dimensional, electrical, photometric and marking requirements and is intended to be used together with EN 2756 (test methods).
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard covers the measurable, verifiable attributes a supplier or designer must meet. Key technical items include:
Electrical ratings
- Nominal voltage: 6.2 V
- Nominal current: 6.45 A
- Nominal power: 40 W
Photometric and optical
- Bulb appearance: silvered
- Colour temperature: ~2 900 K
- Luminous intensity requirements by sector (minimum cd values): e.g. 300 cd, 150 cd, 50 cd in specified angular zones (see standard for full distribution table)
- Light centre length (LCL): 31.75 ± 1 mm
Life and endurance
- Static life with d.c.: 300 h
- Dynamic life with d.c.: 250 h
- Static life with a.c.: 400 h
Mechanical and form
- Filament form: C‑6 (per EN 2240‑002)
- Cap type: BAY15s/19 (see EN 2241 for dimensions)
- Mass: specified as 12 kg per 1 000 units (packaging basis)
Designation and marking
- Prescribed identity block format (e.g., EN2240‑1163)
- Packaging and lamp marking must include the international code number per EN 2240‑002 unless space is insufficient
Practical applications and users
EN 2240-051:2011 is aimed at organizations involved in the design, procurement, manufacture, testing and maintenance of aerospace lighting components. Typical users include:
- Aircraft component manufacturers and lamp suppliers
- Aerospace electrical systems designers and integrators
- Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) organizations and avionics technicians
- Procurement teams and certification authorities verifying conformity with aerospace product standards
The standard ensures interchangeability, performance consistency and traceability when selecting incandescent lamps for aerospace lighting systems.
